The BJP on Saturday criticised Congress extending support to National Conference (NC) manifesto which promotes ideas like dividing the Nation, enforcing two constitutions and Kashmir and opposing the National Flag and said it exposed Congress anti-national thinking.
These assertions were made here during a joint conference by,BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh and Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva.
Chugh said Congress has always sided with those who seek to break the nation. The Congress’s support for the NC’s manifesto raises many questions.
This manifesto by the National Conference is an attempt to re-establish terrorism and separatism in Jammu and Kashmir. The manifesto’s declaration to reinstate Articles 370 and 35A has full support from Rahul Gandhi and the Congress.
Chugh questioned Congress and Rahul Gandhi on their stance regarding Articles 370 and 35A. He asked whether Congress supports dividing Jammu and Kashmir and implementing two constitutions in the region. Congress needs to clarify its position on these issues.
He said Congress is repeating its historical mistakes by playing a dangerous game in alliance with the National Conference.
He further questioned whether Congress is backing Pakistan’s agenda. An effort is being made to establish terrorism and separatism in Jammu and Kashmir, and Congress’s hand in this conspiracy is evident. Congress should clarify if a state party is collaborating with a party from another country and supporting this anti-national agenda. The NC’s manifesto clearly States that separatists currently in jail, who were involved in bomb blasts and in implementing Pakistan’s agenda in Jammu and Kashmir, will be released. The Abdullah family advocates for this, and the Gandhi family supports them, Chugh claimed.
He said Congress is standing with those who seek to strip citizens of their rights, revoke reservations, and return to the pre-August 5, 2019, status of Kashmir. The NC manifesto is an announcement to remove the Constitution introduced by Dr B R Ambedkar, and Congress, along with the Abdullah family, is trying to uproot it. The BJP will not allow this to happen under any circumstances.
Congress must clarify whether it supports the manifesto that proposes renaming Shankaracharya Hill to Takht-e-Suleiman. Rahul Gandhi, who never visited Jammu and Kashmir in his 50 years but is now playing snow ball there, should remember that the only reason the tricolour flies at Lal Chowk, where he is enjoying ice cream, is because of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said.
Delhi BJP President Sachdeva said in its lust for power, Congress has repeatedly played with the unity and security of the nation. By allying with the National Conference in Jammu and Kashmir, Congress is revealing its vile face.
The party stood with stone pelters and continues to support them.
Sachdeva also questioned Rahul Gandhi, who is nurtured by foreign values and visits temples only during elections, about whether he intends to provoke another Hindu-Muslim riot by renaming Shankaracharya Hill.
